I'm handicapped, good bike for me.. I like how the tires make it stick to the ground on jumps, every other bike sailing thru the air.. .i reiterate handicap, perfect bike for me.
Great honest review Dave. The bike was about what I expected it to be. I believe Kove is working with Rocket exhausts on an aftermarket system. Kove seems to be coming out with other accessories too (seat covers, exhaust, and more. The only downside I see to owning one is parts availability (not a dealer around every corner) and resale value down the road with it being Chinese. All in all, a great bike for the price point. Its biggest competitor would be the GPX brand, also Chinese.
У меня такой же kove mx250 😊 Всем нравится на самом деле , использую его как просто в покатушках по лесу , так и на кроссовом треке Надежный 177-B мотор , на kayo k6r такой же ставится , только в kove стоит инжектор 😊 P.s Хочу испытать новинку этого года KEWS, уже привезли в Россию первую партию мотоциклов с моторами NX250 , 42+лс , мотор сделан по лицензии KTM 2014 года 🔥
Kove's former boss Zhangxue was very fond of off-road motorcycles, but was later kicked out by shareholders. Now he has set up his own company to produce motorcycles.
I wanted to add some preload to the shock spring, but the collar was stuck and I didn't have my tool with me to turn the collar. If I did I was going to mess with the suspension some more to see how close I could get it.
Just started watching, nice you are fair and balanced.. purchased yourself.. i guess I going senile.. I could have sworn you wanted a dealership for this company.. sorry if I'm old and confused
True, but the company does actually not have franchised dealers. Their "dealer" network are folks like me, but you can buy them directly from them as well.
make it into a flat tracker but with front brakes and a RED seat cover. LOW pipe but with quiet muffler for stealth. lower the travel of course and Flat Track tires. RED grips. install appropriate low travel flat track front fender or delete completely. only ride it on residential streets in 2rd gear real slow looking at stuff. paint the frame and bars RED. if you get pulled over just tell them "you don't want to get hassled by the man" and they will hand your license back and tell you to have a good day sir. works 100% of the time guaranteed.
Whoa thats supposed to make 37hp, looks like it has enough suspension.. hope its fun for you! It's cheaper than the next bike I'd recommend so i cant say much but good deal so far. Edit* i thought 37 was alot haha i guess im out of touch
That is a test rider?!!!! he can't ride decent, not fast, decent. Look at his inside foot dangling out unnecessary long all the time, or how afraid he is to hit the easy jumps.
Test rider is way too heavy (out of shape) to be testing and giving an assessment of a 250. Also you can here his bias of it being a Chinese made bike oozing through. Sad that some people cannot put their personal political views aside for any reason, not even something as trivial as a UA-cam bike test.
There's something to be said for regular people riding and reviewing the bikes, not all of us are in shape or without bias. I'd be interested in where or which details in the review that you differ with.

That rider is a little large for a 250.
@@redtobertshateshandlesthanks for the compliment!
I think you should put a rider that weights about 150 lb on it. All in all not a bad deal.

Actually, GPX is brought in by the same importer/distributor. And thank you!
@@bullpencycles Yes they are. Joe Henner is the go-to guy there for suspension and parts

I didnt know that about the Kayo!
Где найти твое видео где ты прыгаешь на нем разрывные трамплины?

I did not know that he started his own company. There were mixed stories about why he left. What is the new company?
I was there that day you can see my silver truck parked. Would’ve been cool to throw the go pro on and do a lap on it
do you ever get to Pax?
@@bullpencycles sometimes yes. Is that your home track ?
@@michaelgarro1668 Let me know when you get there and I'll bring it up. I live about thirty minutes away
after watching the rear suspension work, it may need a fuzz more rebound ....or at least a little adjustment if possible ..

This is a trail bike! A very nice trail bike!!

@@overcloth maybe wait for the 450, which is out now!
I thought that was a Bultaco in the truck. Miss my 1969 Bultaco Pursang 250 right hand shift
Yeah, but I dumped it! Ohh.

There was a time when 37 was alot, but that was before folks were doing doubles and triples, which I never could do anyway!
So the Kove needs one or 2 more teeth on the rear sprocket.? As well as a less restrictive air filter with a performance slip on.
I think its got a 13 front, 51 rear. They sell a 12 front which might help
@@bullpencycles yup
It sagged a lot with his big ass on it!
Kris Keefer wasn't available?
Not on my budget!
Measure in inches not centimeters please Sir
I couldnt find my other measuring tape. Its out there somewhere with my 10mm socket
Thats a play bike not a competitive mx bike...plus u need a good rider that actually knows how to test a bike...just saying.👍🏻
So how was the bike tested wrong?
And the company is trying to push the bike as a legit mx bike. So I wouldn't say its a play. If you saw it in person you might understand.

Any of you guys near Central Florida wanna try your hand, drop me an email, but gotta sign a waiver.
I'll be at Dade City MX this Thursday. Your more than welcome to come out and line up with me. Hope to see you there.
@@jasoncroley6769bro let’s be real your not racing anyone
@@zackpage7081 No I actually do race hare scrambles and enduro's. More than welcome to pull up my name under AMA's racer search.

When you need someone way more qualified to test your machine hit me up seriously, tks
send me a note with your location
This is Dave's worst ever video.
I'll write that down
Oh, just wait for part II! Lol /joke
